Frank August Case Study: 06 Legacy Reserve 6 Barrel Batch

Frank August Case Study: 06 – Legacy Reserve | 6 Barrel Batch

Limited Edition | Kentucky Straight Bourbon | 750ml | 54.62% ABV (109.24 Proof)

The sixth release in Frank August’s acclaimed Case Study series, Legacy Reserve is a bold, contemplative blend of 8-, 9-, and 10-year-old bourbons sourced from three of Kentucky’s most storied distilleries. Rather than showcasing a single origin or finish, this release is a dialogue between time, place, and tradition, curated to reflect the evolution of American whiskey.

Each of the nine batches was composed of six hand-selected barrels, chosen not for pedigree but for their ability to contribute nuance, structure, and continuity. The result is a whiskey that bridges generations—deeply grounded in Kentucky heritage yet guided by modern blending philosophy.
